RCrew1 Settled Boomer Registered: 07/22/02 Posts: 393 Loc: Ohio	Great! I got it even though it didn't specifically say I could, hoping I would be able to. I figured, what the heck, it's only $9.99! Ann Thanks! _________________________ Reading "The Deed Of Paksenarrion" by Elizabeth Moon.

Items would disappear from the inventory. I assumed it was because of XP. _________________________ I Baag, Therefore I Am. Update: I Don't Baag Anymore, Therefore I Ain't!

Magician Settled Boomer Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 735 Loc: Sydney, Australia	try using the compatibility mode and hard-setting it to 640x480 resolution to see if it'll help?

Look for it here http://support.lucasarts.com/patches/monkey-4.htm It isn't specifically for Windows XP though. Also check here for general troublshooting: http://support.lucasarts.com/trg/tg.asp?id=102&x=100&y=15

JohnBoy BAAG Specialist Registered: 05/04/02 Posts: 7749 Loc: Kentwood, Left my heart in New...	Gee, Thanks Jenny, Now I can reinstall the game and finish it. The patch corrects the part where I had to quit the game, The music box. Is this patch recent? Cause I could not find one a good year or so ago. _________________________ I Baag, Therefore I Am.
